This week a biopsy came back as stage 1 - B cell lymphoma. Further testing results are due this week to let me know if it is indolent (slow) or aggressive. That will determine course of treatment. I've read that lymphoma is not uncommon in celiac patients. I appreciate any info you'd like to share with your experiences with lymphoma. I was diagnosed with celiac disease December 08.

Have a great day.....fran

I want to thank everyone for your responses. I appreciate your time and kind sentiments. I will go to those websites recommended and see what else I can find out. I want to be as completely informed about lymphoma as a non-medical personell can be. This is a wonderful website with caring informative people. Thanks again for your support. I'll let you know what the next stage is going to be for me.

Thanks again for all of your replies. I will let you all know what I hear from the genetic testing. I feel like I'm in limbo. When I was diagnosed with celiac I went home and got on the computer, bought books and found out a ton of info real quick. This waiting for the other shoe to fall makes me a little crazy. I can't seem to sleep more than 4 hrs. a night. I know I can handle anything once I know exactly what I'm dealing with (celiac will do that for you). Coping with celiacs taught me to speak up for myself and make major lifestyle changes. Since I focus on food a lot the first thought I had was "what can I eat or shouldn't eat" to get through this....nutty huh?

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.   I agree wholeheartedly with @knitty kitty:  "I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants." I had a type of tingling/sometimes pain in my cheek about 2 years after my diagnosis.  I noticed it after standing in cold wind, affecting  me after the event - for example, the evening after standing outside, I would feel either tingling or stabbing pain in my cheek.   I found using a neck roll seemed to help, reducing caffeine, making sure I was well-hydrated, taking B12 and C vitamins and magnesium.  Then when the lockdowns came and I was using a facemask I realised that this pain was almost entirely eliminated by keeping the wind off my face.  I think looking back I was suffering from a type of nerve pain/damage.  At the time read that coeliacs can suffer from nerve damage caused by nutritional deficiencies and inflammation, and there was hope that as bodywide healing took place, following the adoption of a strict gluten free diet and addressing nutritional deficiencies, recovery was possible.   During this time, I used to spend a lot of time outdoors with my then young children, who would be playing in the park, and I'd be sheltering my face with an upturned coat collar, trying to stay our of the cold wind!  It was during this time a number of people with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia came up to me and introduced themselves, which looking back was nothing short of miraculous as I live in a pretty sparsely populated rural community and it is quite a rare condition.   I met a number of non-coeliacs who had suffered with this issue  and all bar one found relief in taking medication like amitriptyline which are type of tricyclic anti-depressant.   They were not depressed, here their doctors had prescribed the drugs as pain killers to address nerve pain, hence I mention here.  Nerve pain caused by shingles is often treated with this type of medication in the UK too, so it is definitely worth bearing in mind if standard pain killers like aspirin aren't working.
